How to properly prepare for a planned operation. How to prepare for general anesthesia

" Such is life - diseases find our body and bring physical suffering, and we bring them to the doctor. More than one hundred and sixty years ago, the first patient flew to the kingdom of Morpheus under the supervision of a physician and returned back - on October 16, 1846, dentist Thomas Morton performed an official operation under anesthesia. Today I will tell you how to minimize the risk of surgery without risking your health.

Saying

Having been practicing in anesthesiology for more than ten years, I have rarely seen a patient who was specially preparing for surgery. Yes, there are patients leading healthy image life, and they are always ready to withstand some unusual physical and non-physiological stresses on the body with relative ease. But there are not many of them; more often you come across clients with several chronic diseases who poison their bodies with bad habits. And suddenly one fine day they decided to change something in their physical shell (we do not treat the soul). They consult a doctor, who determines the indications, excludes contraindications and sets a date for hospitalization. So that’s good, let them be operated on as planned rather than brought in on an emergency call with full stomach, wild pain and drunk.

Let's play doctor

We will not talk about emergency surgical interventions; nothing depends on you here. So - you have time. A week, a month, even two to think about it before a planned operation - and what do you do? IN best case scenario– undergo examinations prescribed by a specialist. But usually, you don’t do anything, then just come to the hospital, where they examine you and operate on you. You are completely at the mercy of the doctor and medical staff. Well, like - here I am, as I am, a kind of gift, and you are obliged to cure me. I must say, in this case, you are right - our task is to ensure that you are discharged with at least positive dynamics. But you must understand that a lot depends on your participation.

It's like with beautiful girl. Imagine that the patient is a girl and the doctor is a guy. Purely hypothetically. He has been seeking her reciprocity for three months now, she doesn’t seem to mind, but she doesn’t let him either. The guy was already tired, the fuse began to pass. The girl, seeing this matter, went for intimacy. He overextended himself, but she is cold, lies and waits for it to end. She thinks, “I gave him a gift,” and he thinks, “Damn, what a log.” Moreover, as a result of unsafe sex, a complication arose - she became pregnant. Happens? Of course it happens. He burned out, the love passed, but like a normal guy, he will have to get married. Everyone is disappointed. The girl and the guy got an unhappy marriage.

It’s the same in the operating room - those three months, these are three days before the operation, during which they did not have time to properly prepare the patient, sex - the operation. Due to smoking and uncorrected hypertension, we suffered bronchospasm during the operation, the body stopped receiving enough oxygen, one complication developed into another - and now there was a hemorrhagic stroke. Marriage is when a doctor was ordered by a court to pay monthly alimony to relatives. Everyone is disappointed.

What am I talking about? And in order not to disappoint either the guy with long dynamos and boring sex with consequences, or the doctor with unpreparedness for surgical treatment and complications, you need to prepare yourself for... well, at least for surgery.

Where to begin?

The first is desire, even so - DESIRE!!! Desire get rid of the disease. They didn’t just lead you by the hand, but you yourself wanted to come and have the operation. So that you look forward to this day, like the day of getting rid of an illness. We understood that it would be better later. Only this attitude will be correct. It has long been noted that a person in critical condition without the desire to survive is likely to “play the box.” And the wild desire for life works wonders.

The second is to get examined and decide on the possibility of surgery at all. You may need to undergo a course of treatment before you are allowed to go under the knife. This is normal, we must be sure of the success of the operation.

So everything's fine internal organs are in a compensated state and the outpatient doctor suggests going to the hospital in a week.

You have a whole week.

What can you do in a week?

Control your blood pressure levels

It is no secret that patients with uncontrolled hypertension are more likely to “lower” their blood pressure during spinal methods anesthesia, there is a higher risk of stroke and heart attack after general anesthesia.

Measure your weight

Calculate your body mass index. I strongly recommend that obese people lose a couple of kilograms.

Body mass index is calculated using the formula:

  • m - body weight in kilograms
  • h - height in meters,

and is measured in kg/m².

For example, a person’s mass = 85 kg, height = 164 cm. Therefore, BMI = 85: (1.64x1.64) = 31.6. An index of 18-25 is considered the norm.

Lose weight not only through diet - a complete refusal of food will not lead to anything good. There will be a disintegration of its own muscle tissue, a decrease in the pool of proteins, catabolism will increase, which means tissue healing will be difficult, possibly even with purulent complications, since the immune system will also suffer.

Recommended food with reduced content fats and carbohydrates, increased content proteins and movement. If possible, run. No? Then walk a lot. So you reset overweight, increase the endurance of the heart muscle to overload, improve respiratory function lungs.

Avoid psychological overload! It is not forbidden to take sedatives. And it is mandatory to take the medications that your doctor prescribes.

About smoking

Give up bad habits. Ideally - completely, but it is also possible for a while before surgery. It is not my task to teach you to quit smoking - there are many manuals on this topic, tons of waste paper has been written, millions of bytes have been crammed into the Internet.

Ideally, according to latest research, – you need to quit smoking two weeks before the upcoming surgery. It is during this period that the oxygen capacity of the blood is restored, almost equal to that of non-smokers, and the lung tissue is cleansed.

Are you having trouble quitting smoking? Well, the only thing I can reassure you with is that smokers recover better nerve cells after clinical death. But smoke lovers still have a higher chance of getting it during and after surgery.

About alcohol

It’s better not to use it at all this week. Well, maybe sip a glass of red wine or a shot glass at lunch or before bed.

I'm not a supporter complete failure from alcohol, I think it’s better to sleep peacefully after an evening glass of wine than to suffer from insomnia all night and develop hypertension. But I warn drunkards - surgical intervention is stressful, alcoholics are often in postoperative period give out severe delirious visions. And I have never seen such a client enjoy them. These visions force a person to act, defend himself, run away, cause additional harm to his body, and how many such madmen cause problems for the staff! In my presence, naked “Ophiuchus” men ran away from the department, threw bottles, and hid under the bed from the shaggy creatures. And one, lying in the trauma department, played snowballs with guess what? It was lucky, those who had a hand injury ran away, and those who were fixed to the bed, it was really scary for them. Such patients have to be firmly fixed and their brains clouded with narcotic drugs.

Speaking of drug addicts - this applies to a greater extent to those who use hard drugs - with withdrawal syndrome No one will take you to the operating table.

About veins

Take care of your veins! Leave a good vein for the operation; do not inject it or take blood for analysis. During surgery, let this vein work for you. In any case, we will find the vessel, but we will get our hands dirty, and we may have to look for the central vein, which is fraught with complications.

And I’ll tell you a secret - you can grow veins! No, new ones will not appear, but they will increase in diameter, which will make their puncture possible. Any physical activity on the hands increases fullness blood vessels upper limbs. Pull-ups, push-ups, even working with a wrist expander will help increase their volume.

Be healthy!

Preparing for surgical intervention- this stage is very significant and requires a serious approach from the patient. Based on preliminary examinations, test results, the lifestyle that a person leads immediately before the operation, his psychological mood, the anesthesiologist chooses the method of anesthesia and drugs, and the surgeon builds a strategy and determines the procedure for performing the operation. And treat preparatory activities should be done very carefully and responsibly.

How to properly prepare for surgery


  • Lifestyle

The person for whom the surgical intervention- a planned event, you will have to make adjustments to your lifestyle and give up, at least temporarily, some habits long before the day of surgery appointed by the surgeon.


About three to four weeks before the target date, you should quit smoking or at least minimize the number of cigarettes you smoke per day. The limitation is due to the fact that the risk of complications from respiratory system(bronchitis, pneumonia) after surgery in smoking people much higher and the disease progresses in more severe form than non-smokers.

You should also be careful with alcohol. You must give up at least two weeks in advance strong drinks to eliminate the effect of alcohol on the functioning of the liver and heart. Alcohol prevents normal functioning liver and reduces its ability to neutralize toxic substances and remove them from the body. From the heart and vascular system Unstable heart function and pressure surges may occur. Alcohol changes the functioning of the blood coagulation system: blood clots can form or, conversely, bleeding can be provoked.


  • Nutrition

Two to three weeks before elective surgery, and if possible even earlier, you need to give up strict diets and create a diet in such a way that low-fat foods predominate on the table meat dishes, fish, fruits and vegetables. A few days before surgery, you need to exclude high-calorie foods that are difficult to digest. fatty foods, smoked meats, pickles and marinades. Fast food and alcohol are also prohibited before surgery. You should not experiment with unfamiliar dishes or exotic fruits before surgery - this may cause allergic manifestations, and the operation will have to be postponed.

On the eve of the operation, dinner should be no later than 19:00, after which you should not eat or drink any water.


  • Physical form

A balanced diet helps the body mobilize resources for normal recovery after surgery. But it is important to strengthen as much as possible immune system and normalize metabolism, which will help increase the body’s resistance and accelerate tissue regeneration. Besides rational nutrition, the patient needs to include regular feasible exercises in his daily routine physical exercise. There is no point in exhausting yourself with training in a stuffy gym; an hour-long walk at a fast pace in the park will bring much greater health benefits. But even regular daily exercise will help bring the body into full combat readiness before a significant test. Particularly attentive to your physical fitness should be considered for overweight patients. Losing weight will have a positive effect on the outcome of the operation, reduce the load on the heart and help you go through the rehabilitation period faster and easier.


  • Taking medications

During the consultation, the patient must tell the doctor about all the medications he is taking. In no case should you stop taking previously prescribed medications on your own initiative or, conversely, uncontrollably drink anti-inflammatory, antipyretic medications (such as ibuprofen, analgin, diclofenac; drugs containing aspirin).

Only after consulting with the doctor, the patient will firmly know which medications to continue to take according to the usual regimen, and which ones will have to be abandoned. For example, aspirin can affect blood clotting and affect the effect of anesthetics, and if you stop taking those prescribed before surgery, antihypertensive drugs, a pressure surge may occur.

It is very important that the anesthesiologist, who will choose the type of anesthesia and drugs, knows whether the patient is allergic to drugs. The doctor may consider it necessary to prescribe antihistamines three to four days before surgery.

In some cases, a day or two before the intervention, doctors recommend taking it at night. sedatives.


  • Hygiene and appearance

Preparation for surgery includes a number of general hygiene measures.

  • Before the operation, you need to take a shower, preferably wash your hair.
  • To ensure that the stomach and intestines are empty during the operation, the doctor may prescribe tablets to cleanse the intestines the day before. Immediately before abdominal operations An enema is given at the clinic.
  • Needs to be removed contact lenses, all jewelry, remove makeup.
  • You should not use any cosmetics on the day of surgery. Nail polish must be removed.
  • Even if clothing is provided at the clinic during hospitalization, comfortable underwear, soft, easy-to-put-on shoes, and shoes for showering should be provided.
  • If the operation is performed on a part of the body where there is hair, it must be removed on the eve of the operation (shaved).

Important:

  • On the day of surgery, no food or liquid is allowed.
  • No jewelry should be left on the body during surgical procedures; nail polish and makeup must be removed.
  • On the eve of the planned planned operation, it is necessary to rest well and get enough sleep, and also try to avoid nervous and physical stress.
  • Psychological attitude

A state of excitement or anxiety before surgical event - normal condition person. Even planned in advance, long-awaited Plastic surgery, on the result of which the patient places great hopes, is associated with natural experiences. And it is very important to come to her in good psychological shape, without unnecessary emotions and fears. After all, internal balance and calmness significantly improve the results of the operation, and the rehabilitation period is faster and easier.

The more the patient learns about the upcoming intervention, the more adequate the reaction to the event will be.

Since the operation is planned and the person himself is looking forward to it, sometimes for several years, it will not be difficult to gradually collect information from competent sources. A rational approach and possession of information about exactly how the operation takes place and the period of primary postoperative recovery, what types of anesthesia are possible, what painkillers will be given in case of discomfort at the end of the event, helps to get rid of worries, and the body will definitely react increased resistance to the phenomena of the rehabilitation period.

If you feel increased anxiety, you must tell your doctor about it so that he can clarify any questions or doubts that arise, and, if necessary, provide a prescription sedatives or advised to have a conversation with a psychologist at the medical center.

The foundation of a calm attitude towards the upcoming changes and control over the situation and one’s own emotions is trust in the doctor and the understanding that after surgery, additional life opportunities will open up for the patient, a sense of self-confidence will be strengthened and a sense of inner harmony will appear.


  • Organizational aspects

If an inpatient stay is expected medical center, it is best to prepare a list ahead of time and, after coordinating it with medical institution, taking your time to collect the necessary things.

The clinic will need:

  • Passport or other identification documents. You should check with your doctor in advance whether a medical insurance is necessary.
  • Results of medical examinations and tests.
  • Personal hygiene products and items ( Toothbrush, paste, comb, manicure accessories, shampoo, soap, etc.).
  • If the patient wears contact lenses, a container and solution will be needed to store them.
  • Notepad or notebook, pen.
  • Mobile phone And Charger to him.
  • Medical examinations and tests

Before the patient arrives at the clinic for surgery, he must undergo a medical examination in accordance with the list given by the doctor and collect tests. The list of tests depends on the method of anesthesia, and they can be prepared in the district clinic to which the patient is assigned, or in a specialized laboratory.

For surgical intervention using general anesthesia

  • HIV (HIV)
  • RW (syphilis)
  • Hepatitis B, hepatitis C
  • Blood test (biochemical)
  • Total protein
  • Total bilirubin
  • Prothrombin
  • APTT.

For surgical intervention With using local anesthesia the patient needs to prepare:

  • Blood test (general clinical)
  • HIV (HIV)
  • RW (syphilis)
  • Hepatitis B, hepatitis C.

In addition to the above mandatory studies, the surgeon or anesthesiologist may prescribe additional ones. Most often, the patient is recommended to have an ECG with a transcript to assess the functioning of the heart, and a coagulogram, with the help of which disorders of blood clotting are detected.

The clinic doctor will tell you in detail about how to prepare for the operation at the preliminary consultation. It is important for the patient to remember that strict adherence to the instructions of the surgeon and anesthesiologist, adherence to the daily routine required before medical procedures and an optimistic attitude are the key to a successful result of the work of the medical center’s specialists.

You should thoroughly prepare for any operation. Is it true that it is better to go to surgeons with an empty stomach? What should people with heart disease do before surgery? These questions are always of interest to patients. The chief anesthesiologist of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, head of the department of anesthesiology and intensive care National medical university named after A. A. Bogomolets, doctor medical sciences, Professor Felix Glumcher. An interview with him was published by the weekly magazine “Facts. Events and people."

Surgeons recommend removing a gallbladder clogged with stones. Felix Semenovich, tell me, can hypertension become an obstacle to the operation?

Not at all. Before surgery, a person always talks with an anesthesiologist. The doctor will definitely find out what medications the patient is taking. Some of them, such as aspirin, may need to be stopped because they can increase bleeding and change the effect of anesthetics. Here's the reception antihypertensive drugs there is no need to stop - cancellation can cause a surge in pressure.

Many people feel unsure about undergoing surgery. Is it possible to drink a little cognac for courage?

In no case! Alcohol should not be consumed even a week before surgery. Alcohol damages the liver, impairing its ability to neutralize and remove toxic substances from the body. The heart works worse, blood pressure increases, and arrhythmia occurs. Blood clotting may change, and then blood clots form, clogging the vessels, or, conversely, bleeding begins. It has been observed that older people sometimes develop bronchitis or pneumonia after surgery. In smokers, such complications develop more often and are more severe.

I would also advise you to quit smoking: the substances contained in tobacco negatively affect the functioning of all organs.

Is it true that one should go to an operation with an empty stomach, and that it would be better if a person fasted for two days before the operation?

No. The patient needs to eat normally in order to have the strength to survive the operation and recover faster after it. Lean meat, chicken, fish, cottage cheese, kefir and others are healthy dairy products. It is better to abstain from foods rich in animal fats (lard, sausages): they are poorly digested. Should not be consumed Exotic fruits and dishes that the person has not eaten before: if an allergy occurs, the operation may be cancelled.

You should also eat well after surgery. Previously it was believed that it restores strength better chicken bouillon. But, according to the latest data, preference should be given to fish broth. If after the operation the patient cannot eat on his own, a probe is placed in his stomach or intestines, or even special solutions are injected into the blood through a vein. Developed for severe postoperative patients special compounds, which, say, when introduced into the intestine, are absorbed practically without waste.

How do you advise a person who has diabetes and coronary heart disease?

Continue treatment and administer insulin in doses such that blood glucose levels are within normal limits. Do not stop taking medications prescribed for coronary disease hearts. Before surgery it is often recommended additional medications, normalizing vascular tone to reduce the risk of pressure surges. These and other medications will be prescribed by the anesthesiologist and surgeon who will perform the operation.

You need to give up solid food eight hours, and liquid food two hours before the operation.

In the old days, surgeons “disabled” the patient using a hammer, which they hit on the crown of the head. There was a time when people were given alcohol to drink for pain relief. What methods are used today?

Most often, general anesthesia is used - the so-called anesthesia. Special substances are injected into a vein or by inhalation into the trachea. This is how they act if you have to operate in the chest or abdominal cavities, for other complex interventions when complete anesthesia and muscle relaxation are required. If you need to “disable” a part of the body, regional anesthesia (epidural, spinal and other types) can be used. Sometimes local anesthesia is sufficient.

In general, it used to be considered normal for a patient to suffer from pain for some time after surgery. Today they have a different opinion. The fact is that when a person has pain for a long time, the body releases stress hormones, which cause spasm of blood vessels. As a result, tissues feel a lack of oxygen, nutrients, and the patient’s wounds heal worse. The digestive organs also suffer the cardiovascular system, the functions of the heart and brain are impaired. If regular analgesics or injections do not help, the patient may have medications injected into the epidural space (the area near the spine). When a person does not experience pain, the body recovers faster.

Any operation is a great stress for the body. In many ways, its result depends on the patient himself. That is why you should prepare for surgery. Everyone should know how to do this correctly, because even people with good health. Read what you should not do before surgery, and what doctors strongly recommend, in our Questions and Answers section.

Can I have surgery if I have a cold?

Before any planned operation, a thorough medical examination is carried out. You need to tell your doctor about all your serious illnesses. Do not hide anything, because the outcome of the operation largely depends on this.

The patient’s health condition is assessed by a surgeon and an anesthesiologist, tests and an ECG are prescribed. Based on all procedures, the doctor assesses the patient’s readiness for anesthesia. The operation is postponed if the patient has ARVI, heat, exacerbation of concomitant disease. There is no need to hide from the doctor if you feel you are sick.

Should I shave before surgery?

Few people know that before surgery you should not shave, including your legs, notes The Daily Mail. A person can cause microscopic cuts. Any violation of the integrity of the cover increases the risk of infection. If you want to get rid of body hair, you need to do this a week in advance, microbiologists from London explain. But there are operations for which preparation still involves shaving. In particular, this includes removal of the appendix and caesarean section.

Do you need to go on a diet?

There is also a risk of sudden weight loss before surgery. Although some fat people and recommend losing a few kilograms to avoid possible problems with anesthesia, thrombosis and infections. Ideally, you should stop restricting your caloric intake about a week before surgery.

Can I take medications?

A separate issue is medications. Blood thinners like warfarin should not be taken before surgery, otherwise the blood simply will not clot. There is also a problem with medications that regulate blood pressure. On the contrary, they must be taken to the last. After all, pressure surges threaten either a stroke or uncontrolled bleeding. By the way, herbal remedies also needs to be taken into account. Garlic, ginseng and ginger are thought to increase the risk of bleeding.

Is it possible to drink and eat?

It is known that people go to the operating table with an empty stomach. It is forbidden to eat or drink six hours before anesthesia. In consultation with your doctor, you can take sedatives at night and in the morning to get enough sleep and not worry too much. It is also necessary to avoid alcohol consumption.

Some patients trick themselves by chewing gum to help them cope with hunger. But this is not very good, because the stomach begins to produce additional acid. If this acid leaves the stomach in a state of complete relaxation during surgery, there will be big problems.

Is it true that you can’t go to surgery with a manicure?

This is absolutely true. Nails must be completely cleaned of varnish, as it may interfere with the analysis of a person's breath. Nails should be cut short. This will also reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and will allow you to attach a sensor to your finger that reads oxygen levels. Doctors also advise taking a shower on the day of surgery. Since germs from the surface of the body can get inside during surgery.

Is it possible to smoke before surgery?

Smokers should quit cigarettes several days before surgery. In fact, even abstinence for a day will help. Lungs damaged by tobacco are more susceptible to infections. Post-operative infections are quite common among smokers. In addition, smoking makes the blood more viscous. In turn, stress and anxiety cause no less damage to the body. Known: anxious people it is more difficult to put to sleep, they have a reduced pain threshold and they are more likely to have side effects.

Proper preparation for general anesthesia (anesthesia) or regional anesthesia and surgery has a huge impact for a comfortable and safe anesthesia and a smooth course of the postoperative period, and the patient’s condition after anesthesia.

Before the upcoming anesthesia and surgery, you will have to undergo a comprehensive diagnostic examination, including: general analysis blood, blood group, biochemical analysis blood, detailed coagulogram, general urinalysis, ECG, fluorography or chest x-ray. According to indications, consultations with narrow specialists are prescribed and additional methods examinations. After receiving the test results and additional examination methods, you will have a conversation and examination with an anesthesiologist.

During a conversation with an anesthesiologist before the operation, you must inform about the diseases, injuries, operations you have suffered, what kind of pain relief was used - general or local anesthesia and how it went, whether there are allergies to medicines, food products, natural ingredients(plant pollen, fluff, animal fur). Tell about the presence of concomitant diseases and constant use of medications. In a confidential conversation with an anesthesiologist, you cannot hide information about the previous and concomitant diseases, since this is necessary for the right choice anesthesia techniques and the choice of drugs for anesthesia, which will ensure the safety of anesthesia and will allow you to avoid complications of anesthesia and the postoperative period. Aware means armed!

Before anesthesia, if available concomitant pathology it is necessary to achieve maximum compensation and remission of diseases (for example: stabilization blood pressure at arterial hypertension, correction of arrhythmia in supraventricular and ventricular extrasystole And atrial fibrillation, normalization of glycemic levels in diabetes mellitus).

In the presence of acute respiratory symptoms viral infection(ARVI), influenza (nasal congestion, lacrimation, headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever) planned surgical treatment or the procedure under general anesthesia must be postponed until complete recovery. Usually this is two weeks for ARVI (rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis) and four weeks for bacterial infection bronchi, pneumonia or sore throat.

In each individual case, the timing will be determined by the anesthesiologist and the operating doctor. Any surgical intervention is stressful for the body, weakening the immune system. When the immune system is weakened, it occurs increased risk infection infectious diseases or the risk of progression of an existing infection. A serious problem with administering anesthesia for colds is the manifestation of existing ARVI, influenza, up to the development of complications of the respiratory system, for example: purulent bronchitis, pneumonia. The body's reaction to anesthesia drugs may change. It is important not to hide the presence or recent history of ARVI, influenza, sore throat and other acute infectious or other diseases before the upcoming anesthesia and operation for your own safety. It’s easier to postpone surgical treatment and anesthesia, and not harm yourself, than to deal with complications!

If you have loose teeth or loose crowns, bridges, carious teeth, then be sure to first undergo treatment with a dentist, since there is a high risk of damage to loose teeth and crowns; it is possible that fragments of teeth and crowns may accidentally enter the trachea and bronchi while ensuring airway patency during anesthesia.

You cannot stop taking medications on your own, or change the dosage and frequency of medications you take for concomitant pathologies. The issue of discontinuing drugs, changing the dosage, frequency and method of taking drugs is resolved with an anesthesiologist, surgeon, gynecologist, urologist, therapist or narrow specialist at a preliminary examination in preparation for surgery and anesthesia. Don't forget to take all your medications to the hospital. You will continue to take the medications you are taking after anesthesia and surgery. It is allowed to take medications in the morning before anesthesia. The anesthesiologist will explain to you how to take it and when to take it during a conversation before anesthesia.

We ask you not to use cosmetics before anesthesia, remove polish and gel from your nails(at least from 1-2 fingers) to ensure monitoring of oxygenation indicators (oxygen content in capillary blood) during anesthesia and the postoperative period. Nail polish and gel interfere with and distort blood oxygenation levels. This will avoid and prevent complications of anesthesia.

Before anesthesia and entering the operating room, it is necessary to remove and leave in the room contact lenses, glasses, Jewelry(rings, earrings, chains, bracelets, hair clips, piercings). Before anesthesia, it is necessary to leave removable dentures in the room.

And in conclusion, about one of the most important conditions for carrying out general and regional anesthesia that is safe for you. Anesthesia is performed on an empty stomach. In the morning before anesthesia, you should not drink water (if you suddenly drank a little, took a sip of water, forgot that you should not drink - the anesthesia will be delayed or postponed until the next day!!!), liquids, tea, coffee, juice, take any food, use chewing gum, sucking candies, mints. In the morning are allowed hygiene procedures oral cavity - you can brush your teeth, but without swallowing water. Empty stomach one of the guarantees to avoid the most dangerous and formidable complication of anesthesia as the entry of acidic stomach contents into Airways, and allows you to reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting after anesthesia.

If these requirements and conditions are met, your anesthesia within the walls of our Clinic will be comfortable and as safe as possible, and we hope it will leave you with only pleasant emotions.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the methods modern anesthesia used in our Clinic, the possibility and choice of anesthesia method for your pathology or your concomitant diseases, come to the Clinic, we will answer all your questions at the meeting!
